Effective Naval Warfare Strategy

So I’m doing a Nord vs. Nord warsails campaign, which means I’ve been doing a lot of naval combat. It’s a lot of fun, but I’ve discovered a particularly effective technique for ending battles almost before they begin. As far as I know, it’s only possible on PC at the moment, but maybe some console player can correct me. Anyway, the steps are as follows: Hold <ALT> to check the enemy’s troop distribution. This is an important action to take at the start of any battle. Knowledge is power, after all, and knowing which ships to target is critical. Press <F4> to order your ships to engage. If you don’t, they just sit there, which isn’t very effective. Congratulations! The battle is now over, as if it had never begun! The enemy is gone, as if by magic. I do hope you saved recently… Seriously, though. Whose Idea was it to put the two most common opening commands for a naval engagement on Alt+F4? The number of times I’ve accidentally force-quit Bannerlord today is laughable...

Mounts required to upgrading (suggestion)

Right now, I feel that cavalry isn’t really worth it unless you already have plenty of money or you recruit pre-upgraded units that don’t require investing horses.

I’d like to ask the community here what you think about these two small changes:

1. No upgrade line should ever require more than one mount. For example, the Vlandian Vanguard needs two mounts — one mount plus one war mount. I think that makes this line completely not worth it. Likewise, I believe this particular line should only require one regular mount while for example, the knights line will still require war mounts.

2. When a friendly rider dies in battle, there should be a 10–20% chance to recover their horse.

Help with the Subreddit's new Guide! Guide is in the Description and Link in the Comments⬇️

So I got the go-ahead to write a guide for the Mods to post and pin on top of the sub and while my 3000+ hours of Bannerlord and wide experience with speedrunning this quest covers a lot, I am sure that I might have missed some neat tips and tricks. Please also tell if there if something that needs closer clarification with more text or an image. The Bannerlord's Guide to Unite the Empire Written by Octavian_Exumbra So you want to unite the Calradian Empire? Well, my child, this is no simple matter. Many great rulers have attempted to Unite the quarrelling descendants of Calradios the Great under one cause and most have failed, so steel yourself great warrior for today you... I'm just messing with you. It's actually a fairly simple process, so let's just dive right into it. New Campaign: Starting off, we're picking Empire culture. When it comes to skills, you have more liberty, but if we want to do this as effectively as possible then we're mainly focusi...

Detailed Mariner Unit Analysis/Tier List for Campaign

TL;DR Tier List. These are my personal notes and I acknowledge it is just my opinion, just posted to hopefully help others S: Imperial Naute A: Battanian Skipari, Vlandian Nauta, Nord Huscarl, B: Sturgian Reaver, Nord Berserkr, Aserai Bahriyyah, C: Corsair Chief, Nord Skjaldbrestir, Nord Chosen of the Sky-God, Sea Raider Chief D: Various Convoy Guards, Nord Ulfhedinn, F: Nord Youngling Testing is done in actual campaign as well as using custom battles and the Retinue mod to look directly at stats/equipment. General Observations: Shields are required, otherwise you get shredded by ranged attacks. Skills and ship upgrades can boost shield health massively, with some like the Nord Decorated Shield crossing 2,000 hp! I've seen Huscarls with 20+ Javelins in their unbroken shield at the end of a battle. You can assume the high tier shields will not break in battle, meaning a single high damage hit creeping through is the best means of ranged attack rather than quantity. For ra...

Prophecy of Pendor - Early Game Guide

I love PoP and think it's the best thing since Sliced Person, but the early game is bloody brutal, especially if you're used to kicking ass and taking names in M&B vanilla. So I wanted to write an early game guide to share my experience and hopefully help someone else get into the mod without as much agony as I (and many others) experienced. Character Creation - Questions When you start character creation, the game hits you with a bunch of background story questions. My advice is to answer these however you like, building the backstory for your character that interests you and helps get you into the story. However , these questions have serious impacts on the game, most critically whether you can create Knights of the Griffon chapters with just money, and something called the Rumor Interval which sounds irrelevant but is the most important thing ever . For a deep read on the subject see the wiki https://pop3.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Creation Or for a quick "Just...
